HC Deb 13 February 1911 vol 21 c821W
Mr. MOONEY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what were the amounts paid for licence duties by manufacturers, wholesale merchants, and retailers in respect of the financial year 1909–10, including any arrears that may have been collected in the financial year 1910–11?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

The amounts paid in 1909–10 in respect of that year, at the old rates of duty, are shown at pages 63–4 of the First Report of the Commissioners of Customs and Excise (Cd. Paper 5302). The sums collected in 1910–11 as arrears properly belonging to 1909–10 of the additional duties imposed by the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910, have been collected as part of the revenue of 1910–11, and I cannot give the particulars in anticipation of my right hon. Friend's general review of the revenue of the year.
